My
earliest art influences are Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol but I love
all types of art and could spend entire DAYS at the Art Institute of
Chicago.

What makes my world go 'round?

My family and the unique innocence of the animals around me.

I enjoy nature and the simple pleasures of life in the Midwest.

My
favorite part of day involves sitting on the front porch with my
husband and my children. After a long day at work and school we wind
down with good conversation and share the laughs (and sometimes tears)
of our daily events while our furry children watch from the front
window. In the cold weather, we are forced indoors but we try to take
time every day to appreciate each other.
